Hi,

Don't miss even a single word Every second is worth reading this mail... Too good
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science ha
s with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most o
f us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God g
ood then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things
exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world a
round you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you eve
r had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your
GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,
white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We
can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further af
ter that. There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describ
e the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the
opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can
have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have n
o light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In real
ity, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, would
n't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life
and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept
of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even ex
plain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much les
s fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ign
orant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not t
he opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monke
y?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course,
I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argu
ment is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and can
not even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching y
our opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it
, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the esta
blished rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you
have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lecture
s, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.
)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all tha
t keeps things moving & alive.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll probably wa
nt your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?....
this is a true story, and the student was none other than.........
